Mastering Bitcoin

I (Andreas) first stumbled upon Bitcoin in mid-2011. My immediate reaction was more or less “Pfft! Nerd money!” and I ignored it for another six months, failing to grasp its importance. This is a reaction that I have seen repeated among many of the smartest people I know, which gives me some consolation. The second time I came across Bitcoin, in a mailing list discussion, I decided to read the whitepaper written by Satoshi Nakamoto and see what it was all about.

NGINX Cookbook

The NGINX Cookbook aims to provide easy-to-follow examples of real-world prob‐lems in application delivery. Throughout this book, you will explore the many features of NGINX and how to use them. This guide is fairly comprehensive, and touches on most of the main capabilities of NGINX.

Programming C# 10

C# has now existed for around two decades. It has grown steadily in both power and size, but Microsoft has always kept the essential characteristics intact. Each new capability is designed to integrate cleanly with the rest, enhancing the language without turning it into an incoherent bag of miscellaneous features.

Serverless Development on AWS

Helsinki. It was a warm spring morning in 2019, and I (Sheen) was in the city to speak at ServerlessDays. A couple of engineers I met there during the break sought my advice on taking the serverless story to the public sector department they were working in. They were looking for inspirational serverless adoption stories to bring to their team. Almost a year later, an engineer at AWS Community Day in Stockholm asked an innocent but important question: What is this “serverless,” and is it good for my company?

Architecting Modern Data Platforms

This book is about all things architecture. We’ve split it up into three parts. In Part I, we establish a solid foundation for clusters by looking at the underlying infrastructure. In Part II, we look at the platform as a whole and at how to build a rock-solid cluster that integrates smoothly with external systems. Finally, in Part III, we cover the important architectural aspects of running Hadoop in the cloud. We begin with a technical primer for Hadoop and the ecosystem.

Automated Machine Learning in Action

The book aims at providing systematic guidance for learning, using, and designing handy AutoML pipelines to students, instructors, practitioners, and researchers who want to learn AutoML basics and adopt AutoML techniques. It’s our intention to avoid onerous mathematical formulations and notations and instead introduce the AutoML concepts and techniques with specific usage examples and code design snippets from both users’ and developers’ perspectives.

Blockchain-enabled Fog and Edge Computing

Blockchain consists of a decentralized ledger of every single transaction that takes place in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network formed by the participants. Blockchain can be permissioned (public), permission-less (private), or hybrid. If blockchain is public, the validator of the transaction can be any participant. If the blockchain is private, the validator of the transaction has to be authorized by the blockchain owner. This blockchain owner can be a single entity validating the transactions and approving the blocks to be added in the blockchain, or it can be a group of entities resulting in the form of consortium blockchain. Potential blockchain applications include electronic voting systems, fund transfers, production, supply chain management, the pharmaceutical industry, the financial sector, and many others.

C++ Core Guidelines

This preface serves one purpose: giving you, dear reader, the necessary background to get the most out of this book. This background includes technical details about me, my writing style, my motivation for writing this book, and the challenges for writing such a book. If you want to skip this section, fine, but read at least the Acknowledgments section.

C++ Data Structures and Algorithms

In this book, we will begin by giving you a basic introduction to data structures and algorithms in C++. We will then move on to learn how to store data in linked lists, arrays, stacks, and so on. We will look at some interesting sorting algorithms such as insertion sort, heap sort, merge sort, which are algorithms every developer should be familiar with. We will also dive into searching algorithms, such as linear search, binary search, interpolation and much more.

Cassandra: The Definitive Guide (Revised Third Ed.)

This book is a technical guide. In many ways, Cassandra and other NoSQL databases represent a new way of thinking about data. Many developers who gained their professional chops in the last 15–20 years have become well versed in thinking about data in purely relational or object-oriented terms. Cassandra’s data model is different and can be difficult to wrap your mind around at first, especially for those of us with entrenched ideas about what a database is (and should be).

ChatGPT for Dummies

This book is written for anyone seeking to understand and use ChatGPT in their work and daily life as well as to prepare for inevitable changes that ChatGPT will introduce.

CockroachDB: The Definitive Guide

This book aims to help you, the reader, understand the architecture and capabilities of CockroachDB as well as suitable use cases for CockroachDB. By the end of this book, you will be able to get started with CockroachDB, build effective applications on it, and, ultimately, run a cluster in production.

Learning Spark

This book most developers who grapple with big data are data engineers, data scientists, or machine learning engineers. This book is aimed at those professionals who are look‐ ing to use Spark to scale their applications to handle massive amounts of data.

Consul: Up and Running

This book assumes general knowledge of application development and networking concepts such as load balancers. It contains instructions for installing Consul on Kubernetes or Linux VMs and so assumes that you will have some familiarity with one of those platforms. The exercises can be completed from Windows, MacOS, or Linux machines.

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD)

This book is a practical guide to designing and developing pipelines. The ambition is geared toward CI/CD, but the scope is a bit broader. As explained, no team can switch to “pure” CI/CD in an instant, so to accommodate these teams, the book also discusses workflows that include traditional branching strategies, for example.

Data Visualization

This book is a hands-on introduction to the principles and practice of looking at and presenting data using R and ggplot. R is a powerful, widely used, and freely available programming language for data analysis. You may be interested in exploring ggplot after having used R before or be entirely new to both R and ggplot and just want to graph your data. I do not assume you have any prior knowledge of R.
